first things first

FINALLY making my first post!* - before I start, I just have to say thank you to Stacey for doing ALL the work thus far on this blog. I am so excited to be doing this, and I really want to devote enough time and energy to this to make it great--- but as anyone who knows me knows, I spread myself pretty thin. but here's the thing, this is pretty much something I already do- talk about clothes, think about clothes, wear clothes, develop clothes, take pictures of clothes, take pictures of myself in clothes, send links and pictures and clothes to my friends- so if I just post it here instead of FB or whatever, it will be more fun for everyone :o) 

so,  let's talk about my closet. it's pretty much my favorite room in my place, it's the only room that is really remotely decorated since we don't really know how long we want to stay at this place. It is really pretty much the best thing about this place though, it's huge. All other houses I look at from now on, will have their closets compared to this closet. I pretty much just need an extra room, I would LOVE to have an extra bedroom to have as a creative room/closet. I am working on that.

and then there is the other thing- I only keep my fun clothes in here, (yes here, I am posting from my closet, haha) I keep my work clothes in a separate closet downstairs. They are so boring- I don't want them mixing with my other awesome clothes. 

Anyhow, I just cleaned it out this weekend, normally I organize the clothes differently, but now they are kind of just wherever they ended up. It had been a mess for a few months, so I am stoked to have it clean again, and I kind of like how everything is just all mixed up together!

I have a bunch of other stuff in storage too, especially shoes, I can't wait until I have more room and a better way to organize stuff! I love to sit in here and just play with stuff and put outfits together. 

I also haven't figured out a good way to store my workout clothes or pajamas, I need a cute dresser or something, I don't like the one I use now. That can go in my design room/closet when I have it :oD

anyway- here I am, I will try to post more, work is pretty insane right now but this will be a nice escape.

*i promise to make future posts more images/less text ;o)

We were a New Blog Focus on The Style Rawr!

The lovely Tara and Jade, rulers of The Style Rawr kingdom, were so kind and featured us as a new blog focus for their readers. It was such a thoughtful thing to do since we are such a baby in this great big world of blogging and are still figuring things out. We can not thank you enough for your support!

If you by chance have not had the pleasure of checking out The Style Rawr yet, do it! No one rocks Charley 5.0 like them and the Wildfox models can just retire right now. 

They are running a great competition right now, so get creative and enter!!

The Style Rawr!: New Blog Focus on The Bas Couture

Let it Snow at Topshop at least!

Wow! Topshop has some amazing things as always. I really surprised myself and did not buy out the Kate Moss collection that was released on November 2nd. After carefully looking at each piece and putting it in my cart I realized that out of the 3 things that really caught my eye 2 of them could be found at my favorite local consignment shop. Now that is how you really obtain a style that is true to Kate and yourself. 

But Topshop does have some offerings to kick your wardrobe into shape for this crazy cold weather we are having! Which do you think would be the best addition to the overflowing closet?

This faux fur cross body pouch is $70.00 and it is full of leopard goodness. 

The beading at the top of this dress is so good and the color makes it easy to wear. You could really throw a cardigan over it and wear it during the day with flats then change it up for a night out. I think it is a really good deal for $135.00

This is a GREAT faux fur jacket! The colors make me just think of snowball fights, lattes, and warming up by the fire. I need your help! I live nowhere near a Topshop (sob, us poor US girls are so out of the loop) so when they say "hip length" this could anything as I have learned from my many orders. If you are around a store and see this jacket, please try it on and report your findings.

Go Robyn! (This is not Robyn!)

Our own Monster made it on Gagaween 2010

One half of The Bas Couture is a freaking DIY superstar and has made some creations that are perfection. Robyn can recreate almost any look that she puts her mind to and has made our experiences at Lady Gaga's  Monster Balls a LOT more special due to her handiwork. 

Now she has been picked by Lady G herself to be included in a slideshow she put together of the best Gaga halloween costumes of 2010! Robyn is around the 1:46 mark and I will leave it to her to tell you the story of her amazing hand-studded jacket that really will leave you speechless. Oh! And ask her about her last half marathon as well!
She is at the 2:07 mark too! Great job Robyn!!

Closet Calling

My closet is an ongoing source of frustration. A true love/hate relationship. It holds all these things that make me extremely happy (WAY too many things actually) but then it turns on me by dropping a shoe box on my head when I least expect it. Given my tendency to buy too many things and not be able to get rid of things easily, my poor closet is OVERFLOWING! It can either be like you are in wonderland or hell. 

SO, I am tearing it all apart and rebuilding it. 

Do any of you have any great organizational tips? Or maybe you know of a great place to buy organizational supplies? If you could make your dream closet, what would be your must haves?

Until then, I will try and avoid stepping on any hidden heels.
